BWW caught up with Uğyr Özcan about bringing The Sun King to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get involved in the world of theatre?. I had always been interested in theatre, and I think seeing some really good children’s plays as a kid was a big part of that. I did some acting in school, but I think what really drove me to put on my own play was the range of talent and support in Oxford. In my second year, I was involved in quite a few productions, including original plays my friends wrote. What I enjoyed about these was bringing a creative vision to life as a team, and I think I just couldn’t help but do more and more of it!

1 Disney Announces THE GREATEST SHOWMAN Musical; West End FROZEN Coming to Disney+.

BWW caught up with Sarah McGuiness about bringing Sarah McGuiness Sings Cabaret to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get started in the world of cabaret?. The show is not just what it says in the name – it’s a great deal more! It’s really the cabaret of my life story. But I’ve always loved cabaret as an art form, from ever since I can remember. In its purest form, it is the most challenging, amusing, boundary-bending, society-challenging form of entertainment of them all. This is what I try to reflect with my story.
